Johnny Gargano teased some awesome gear for tonight’s NXT TakeOver: In Your House, and man did it deliver. I had guessed it had something to do with ThunderCats and Magneto previously, and yeah, I couldn’t have been more off the mark. What it ended up being was an homage to the Kliq, with each member of The Way bringing a Kliq member to life in amazing fashion. As you can see in the image below, the gear came out brilliantly, and they even found a role for Pawdme!

Johnny represented Shawn Michaels, while Candice LeRae was clad in Sean Waltman-style gear. Meanwhile, Indi Hartwell was doing her best Razor Ramon impression, and Austin Theory was in full Diesel form.
